September Favourites!!

Hey my lovelies!
Firstly, I am so sorry I didn't finish the #SBBC challenge but I am sure some of you heard that my gran was very poorly the past few weeks..so my heart would not have been in my blogging, something I think is essential in a post so I hope you can forgive me!
But I just want to say a HUGE thank you to AM over at GirlFridays Beauty Blog for organising the challenge! While I did not complete it I truly think the encouragement helped my blog for the better!

So, this post is a quick look at some new purchases I got the last few weeks of September, start of October (I know it's late but better late than never!)

First up is the 2 lipsticks I got from the MAC Retro Matte collection:

All Fired Up is a bright red-pink matte lippie

Flatout Fabulous is a bright plum matte with a slight Fushia hint to it- a PERFECT twist to a typical autumn lipstick :)

Next up is my Naked Flushed Palette,

which I wouldn't have only the LEGEND that is Lorraine over at itsonlymakeupjohn.wordpress.com saved my bacon!

It's a blusher-bronzer-highlighter trio & it is just GORGEOUS!

I am in love with the highlighter that is in the palette.. The whole thing is perfect for making a contouring job look natural.

I am afraid I took these photos late at night so couldn't show what it looked like on my face but no doubt will be doing looks with it soon!

Lastly, I have a non-beauty related item.. THIS gorgeous necklace I got in River Island on me & the mammy's day trip out with the sister before she went Au revouir off to Le Harve!

It was €17 but I thought it such a unique piece- it's casual with the black ribbon to make it Saturday shopping wearable but the jewels & sparkle make it night out appropriate!

So, that's a quick post! I will be back to the blog soon with some more reviews, thanks to all you lovely folk for all the support you gave me the last few weeks when I was feeling low. From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful to know you all!

Hey my lovelies!
Hope you are all having a good week! Am doing a quick review on some Paese cosmetics I won a few weeks ago!
Paese cosmetics are a Polish brand & recently have launched an Irish website & to celebrate likes on their Facebook gave away a Paese box & I was the lucky somebody!
So, want to have a wee look at what is in the Paese box I got?! Sure you do!!

First up, in the box was this gorgeous polish. I have yet to test it out yet (you know how I am by now, laziest beauty blogger ever when it comes to nails!) but I can tell that I will love the colour! Will see what the formulation is like & let you all know! This is shade no.21
Next thing in my Paese box was this gorgeous dusty/baby pink lipstick! It was a dream to apply, so creamy & not drying for the lips! This shade is no. 13

Matte matte baby! This eyeshadow trio is from Paese's matte shadow line "Kashmir Trio". I was AMAZED by the pigmentation! If I was honest, I am not a huge lover of…

I know, I know... its been a while... way too long in fact & I want to bring you up to date with what has been happening, and to let you all know I will be back blogging more regularly about the things I am liking, loving, hating or just getting up to! I is sorry!!!

So... since my last blog post A LOT has change!!
We are nearly a year married (we will be celebrating our anniversary in Las Vegas on 20th May!!)

The house has nearly been all fully re-decorated to suit our tastes so that was a busy few months.
We have also tidied up the outside of the house & all the fun that entails (fence painting, weeding...more weeding, honestly how DO weeds manage to spread so quickly!). No garden.. yet but we will get there!
While I am on the subject of interiors, would you like to see what we have done with the place? A little off the general subject of this blog but it has been a huge part of my life & still will be as I have a serious soft spot for homeware shopp…

Hiya folks,It's been months since I last wrote but this post has been a while coming.. It was just a matter of building myself up to writing it.. I still don't think I have the right words but in this situations I don't there are the "right" words. A lot has changed in my life since I was last talking to you all on the blog.. And this is why I have been quiet the last few months. Both my lovely, bubbly mum who was full of laughs & wisdom and my Granny L, full of wit & chat passed away at the end of September last year after loosing their battles with cancer. It was a shock loosing my mum, as she had been fighting it since last December & things were looking good. However, cancer has a way of springing things on you & quite rapidly last August things took a turn for the worst. My granny was also fighting cancer for the months previous too, but we knew she wouldn't get better so life had been a blur of hospital visits with mum & trying to make…
